at least we get to complain about boring wins nowadays

[Mike Jackson]

Suck it Kirk Herbstreit we covered the 12 points!

[greenjoe]

Is there any word on the condition of the Rice player that was carried off the field ?

How is SMU getting that kind of live now? That was clearly a TD. 

[EagleMBA]

Wow! Tulane REALLY got screwed by the refs!  How could that not get reviewed?  Tulane out of timeouts?

he is moving extremities, they are going to let him be fully examined before updating with more info

Seems it was reviewed and still not correct.

[GrandGreen]

NT was completely dominating the game until the long injury timeout.  

NT lost their momentum and Rice got fired up.  

Hope the player is ok, which is most important.

Yeah. All angles I saw made it clear Tulane scored. Too late for football justice but the people who called that should feel the heat. That was just not right!

Defense played great to not give up more than 14.

Concerned about only scoring 30 (I know that's probably the first time anyone in this fanbase has ever been able to say that). I know Wilson is down but even as a freshman, Smith is a perfectly competent runningback and you saw that today as he ran for 178.

I know Guyton is down, but if I remember correctly he hasn't had a big game since UTSA.

We need to finish those should-be scoring drives, instead of throwing picks. I love Mason Fine, but he needs to get rid of the ball instead of take sacks.

Was hoping for more from the offense to give me a little more confidence heading into the FAU rematch.

Nevertheless, the Mean Green have officially outdone my "outlandish" 8-4 prediction from the start of the season and I'm so excited to see all of the progress this program has made!

Actually, defense gave up 7

 

And how nice is it to be saying "we didn't win our 9th game of the year  in convincing enough fashion"?  I hope everyone understands that we were purposefully vanilla to show FAU   nothing on film.

Maybe, but doesn't look like many of them went to the game.

Right, I meant just 14 points on the scoreboard. Just like the defense did not give up all 38 points ODU scored on us. I just didn't want this to be a 31 or 38-24 score making the defense look worse than they actually are.

I'll buy you a vanilla shake if we beat FAU next week, then.

Deal

[diehardUNTfan]

Sometimes I wonder if SMU pays off the refs🤔

[greenjoe]

I understand that every person that has ever attended Rice ever could all be seared in Rice Stadium at the same time.  

Beat FAU

GO MEAN GREEN

[greenminer]

I think we had one more off-focus/out-of-sync game coming, and I'm glad we got it out of the way now instead of one of the next two games.

My personal impression as I listened to the game was that we were building momentum and executing until the unfortunate injury to the Rice runner. After that we seemed to go flat, continuing on into the last two quarters. The D won this one.

[edcollopy]

Guyton allows space for other receivers.  I.e. Lawrence.   He gets a ton of attention by opposing defenses

I don't much care for Rice either, but wishing for them to be seared is a bit much 😄

Yeah, "moving all extremities" is what I heard from our radio crew towards the end of the game.  

[greenjoe]

Seated.  Seated.  The "r" is too close to the "t" on my phone. 

[tmjerm]

I know the D didn’t give up many points but a lot of that was Rice just being a bad unit.  Our defense doesn’t impose a thing right now. We catch blocks and our run force is super soft.  FAU will run the ball down our throats if we don’t get more physical..which at this point in the yr is a silly idea.  We are a 9 win team so I’m very proud but it has been in spite of a LOT of defensive issues.
